How can I tell if my computer is blue tooth

[Littleboo]

I just bought a wireless mouse, it says it needs to have blue tooth. how do I tell if my notebook has it without opening up the very difficult to open/return packaging?

What notebook do you have?

When was it purchased? What model is it?

Go to System Preferences. If there is a Bluetooth option there, click it. If you get a message saying you don't have it, you don't have it.

If not, then you have it.

Ask your computer to open wide... 😛 What computer do you have? Howe old is the computer? Need info, We crave info....

If you are on a Mac, go to Apple, About This Mac, Click on More Info, and on the right side, you should see something called Bluetooth.
If it's not there, I think you don't have it.
However, just to be sure, that you have it, go into System Preferences and select Bluetooth.

If it's anything close to new I'm sure it will have bluetooth, as long as we're talking Macs.

I'm pretty sure every single intel mac (except possibly the Mac Pro) has bluetooth in it.

The first model didn't standard, the second does.

That was total crap, by the way, but what's done is done. 🙄

It's about 18 months old. I opened system preferences and I see the bluetooth logo. it says I have no devices, but I assume that will change if I hook up the mouse.

If its an Apple notebook and less than 18 months old then it will have bluetooth, you need to pair the device to the laptop, then you'll be all set
